It's only Wednesday and Sunday seems so long ago.
Another Wimbledon gone, but just this once in a lifetime, another one smiling around the corner !
Before the Olympic Games come back to the hopefully, recovered and once again lush lawns of SW19, bringing the best of 3 sets format and a non-compulsory all-white dress code, I cannot help myself saying a quick goodbye to the very memorable and special "proper" Wimbledon.
There are a several things I shall remember it by:
the fact that I went there and was not kicked out plus a sip of Pimms to celabrate it with
the miserable weather that interfered with a lot of play
Lucas Rosol, the man on a mission that performed a miracle and sent Nadal home fishing in round 2
11 foot-faults given to Ivo Karlovic that everyone seems to have forgotten about
the glorious final in which we had a glorious winner and an even more glorious loser
that Nole lost his number one status
What were your Wimbledon highlights?

Is the above site not genuine?"
That's amazing! I didn't know you could buy the tickets.
I thought it was all done in ballots, great that people can buy the tickets like that

"Finally, the fact the BBC covers Wimbledon and not Sky."
Excellent comment!

The Rosol - Nadal match was amazing, particularly the last set. The look on Rosol's face, the intensity & focus was mythical, truly Olympian.

I saw a bit of his match against Phau today, he seems to have that "possessed"look all the time now. Shame he lost in two tie-breaks, but it was fascinating to watch his crazy returns and forehands again
